Select all objects with NO MATERIAL

[eduardosilva1]

Is there a way to select all objects with NO material.

I know its possible to select by material..but what about with NO MATERIAL?

In 2015 and 2016 you can filter the scene explorer for "has material" which you can then invert..... I'm sure you can do the same with the previous version scene explorers, but I have not looked to verify this.

let me google that for you

 

select (for i in objects where i.material==undefined collect i)

[Rich O]

select (for geo in geometry where not isKindof geo TargetObject and isKindOf geo.material UndefinedClass collect geo)

Make the above script into a button

 

How this isn't just a right-click menu item in the material editor or something, I don't know, as Maya has had this feature forever. But there you go. Another Max hole that needs plugging manually!

Copy the above post into a new script, save, then run the script. Then assign the script to your UI.
